"This major has always been quite niche.
However, before, there were quite a few applicants. It's strange this year, you're the only one.
When I found out about this, I asked around.
They say an archaeology professor fought hard to get everyone else kicked out, leaving just you in this major."
Wen Ran: "…But I didn't apply to the Archaeology Department."
This answer left Xiao Chengguang bewildered, "What the heck, didn't you apply to this department yourself?"
"No," Wen Ran sighed weakly, "I applied for Chinese Language and Literature, but when I got here, I found out I inexplicably ended up in archaeology."
Xiao Chengguang: "…No worries."
No amount of comfort would be more than futile and dry at this point.
"Anyway, our family isn't short of money. Do whatever makes you happy. Archaeology, to me, seems like playing with mud. You might actually grow to love it after a while."
Wen Ran fell silent.
I know you want to comfort me, but please hold off on that.
